For the past few years, tickets have sold out quicker than you can blink your eyes. This year, Apple will employ a random selection system:

"Developers will know their status by Monday, April 7 at 5:00 p.m. PDT. There will also be 200 Student Scholarships available, giving students around the world the chance to earn a free ticket."

Finally, the State of the Union session and the Apple Design Awards will be live streamed via the WWDC website this year. Note that the official WWDC pagehas not been updated yet is up-to-date and pretty. Good luck, folks.
